I don't think that Cruyff peno is legal either. Once he's kicked it, surely no teammate of his can touch it until either the keeper's done so or the ball's gone in the net.
As for the original clip, the keeper was so pathetic that my first reaction was it had all been fixed beforehand. You could even argue that backheeling it gave the keeper more of a chance, because the taker barely tickled it.

Nothing wrong with the Cruyff penalty JJ.
A penalty kick's defined as a "direct freekick from inside the penalty box, taken from a spot 12yds from the goal line". As with a direct freekick, the kicker cannot touch the ball again once he's kicked it except it is touched by another player.
From Wikipedia: A two-man penalty or "tap" penalty occurs when the penalty-taker, instead of shooting to score a goal, taps the ball slightly forward and to the side so that a team-mate can run on to it. The team-mate, like all other players, must be at least ten yards from the penalty spot when the ball is kicked. This strategy depends on the element of surprise, so that the team-mate can reach the ball ahead of any defenders.

Fair enough mate. Thanks for that.
